Treasures of 300-year-old shipwreck finally FOUND... as stunning photos reveal contents of $20BN trove
Stunning photos have revealed the treasures of a Spanish ship three centuries after it was blown apart by the British in a Caribbean ambush. Researchers have released underwater images that are the clearest evidence yet that the galleon is that of the San José, dubbed the 'holy grail' of shipwrecks, complete with a staggering trove of gold, silver and emeralds. The San José was sunk in June 1708 off the coast of what is now Colombia during a dramatic ambush by the British. On board were treasures worth up to $20 billion in today's money along with 600 sailors. All but 11 of the seamen went down with the ship. The Colombian navy claimed that it had found the wreck in 2015, but until now evidence of its identity was limited. A study published on Tuesday in the journal Antiquity has revealed new details about the legendary shipwreck. Columbian researchers authored the study, which revealed images taken by remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). They show dozens of coins that lie scattered around the wreck, about 1,970 feet under water. The San Jose galleon was owned by the Spanish crown when it was sunk by the British Navy near Cartagena of the coast of what is now Colombia Archaeologist Daniela Vargas Ariza, of Colombia's Naval Cadet School and the National Institute of Anthropology and History, explained how her team used advanced underwater imaging to examine the site. This technique included high-resolution scans of silver coins found near the stern. Those coins, known as 'cobs' or 'macuquinas,' depict the mark of Lima, Peru, and are dated 1707 - the same year the San José set sail. Some are stamped with the royal symbols of Castile and León, the emblems of Spain's empire. 'Hand-struck, irregularly shaped coins - known as cobs in English and macuquinas in Spanish - served as the primary currency in the Americas for more than two centuries,' she said in a statement. 'This body of evidence substantiates the identification of the wreck as the San José Galleon.' 'The finding of cobs created in 1707 at the Lima Mint points to a vessel navigating the Tierra Firme route in the early eighteenth century. The San José galleon is the only ship that matches these characteristics'. Also found near the site was Chinese porcelain from the Kangxi period 1662 to 1722, and 17th-century cannons dated to 1665. In 2015 the Colombian government announced that a team of navy divers had discovered the legendary ship lying beneath 3,100 feet of water. In 2022 another team brought back jaw-dropping images of its perfectly preserved cargo. And in 2023 the Colombian government said it would be raised before President Gustavo Petro's term of office ends in 2026. At the time a US firm claimed it found the boat and demanded half the loot. The Spanish government and an indigenous group also claimed to have rights over it. Glocca Morra, an American research company, claimed it found the San Jose in 1981 and turned the coordinates over to the Colombians on the condition it would receive half the fortune once the vessel was recovered. But this was countered in 2015 by Colombia's then president, Juan Manuel Santos, who said the Navy had found the boat at a different location on the sea bed. The 62-gun galleon was sailing from Portobelo in Panama at the head of a treasure fleet of 14 merchant vessels and three Spanish warships when it encountered the British squadron near Barú. Spain and Britain were fighting the War of the Spanish Succession at the time and the Royal Navy was approaching dominance on the high seas when it sent the San Jose to the bottom.

Florence finally to be rid of notorious 60-metre crane after two decades
A giant crane that has blighted the skyline of Florence for almost 20 years is finally to be removed. The controversial structure, described as 'a metal monster', has stood in the centre of the Tuscan capital since 2006, when it was installed in a square opposite the Uffizi Galleries – famous for sublime artworks of the Italian renaissance – and tasked with doing the heavy lifting of materials during the initial phase of the museum's ongoing expansion. At more than 60 metres tall and visible from miles away, the crane was used less and less as the construction works dragged on, but there it remained despite numerous attempts to have it removed over its incongruity with the Florence landscape. Over time, the crane not only became a target of mockery, with an Instagram account set up for this purpose, but also the ultimate symbol of Italy's notoriously sluggish bureaucracy. The main thing holding back the crane's removal has been the huge cost but also the permissions required from the various levels of authority. But after some of the city's entrepreneurs responded to an appeal by the Uffizi's exasperated director, Simone Verde, and clubbed together to cover the bill, the dismantling of the crane will finally begin on 16 June, culminating in a celebration on the terrace of the galleries' Loggia dei Lanzi on 21 June. Such is the importance of the occasion, the event will also be attended by Italy's culture minister, Alessandro Giuli. 'Florence has been waiting for this moment for a long time,' said Verde. 'The metal monster is being removed and Florence's dazzling beauty can finally return intact and unviolated.' Verde added that the 'havoc' caused by the crane had been weighing on the city for far too long, and that he hoped the momentous occasion would mark the beginning of the end of 'this cursed construction site'. Part of the total €180,000 (£152,000) cost will also be used to replace the crane with a less invasive and more sustainable hoist, allowing the works to finally be completed without sullying the city's aesthetics. 'This operation confirms that good administration can triumph despite everything,' said Verde. 'It also testifies that the Uffizi has the capacity to be a model for cultural efficiency and a true flag for Italy in the world.'

Salad-bag pasta
This is the quickest pasta ever, with the sauce taking less time to make than the pasta takes to cook! It can be made with a variety of leafy greens for maximum iron and there is absolutely zero skill required. Throwing the almonds into the water might seem a little crazy, but it softens them up and adds body to the sauce. You can slip their skins off after boiling if you prefer, but it's not essential. To make this extra creamy, try stirring in a couple of tablespoons of ricotta before serving. This is also a great recipe to use that special olive oil you've been saving, as you can really taste it. Fiber: 7.8g Protein: 20g Plant points: 6.5 Overview Prep time 2 mins Cook time 15 mins Serves 4 Ingredients 500g (18oz) fusilli, farfalle, or penne 2 garlic cloves, peeled 60g (2oz) whole almonds 250g (9oz) watercress, spinach and/or rocket (arugula) (or use cavolo nero or savoy cabbage, stems removed) 125g (1⁄2 cup/4 1⁄2oz) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 4 tbsp grated Parmesan (or use vegan alternative), plus extra to serve 3 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds 3 tbsp toasted sunflower seeds Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Method Step Bring a big pan of salted water to the boil and cook 500g (18oz) fusilli, farfalle, or penne according to the packet instructions. Scoop the pasta into a colander using a slotted spoon and return the pan to the boil. Step Add 2 garlic cloves (peeled) and 60g (2oz) whole almonds to the water and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the garlic is just tender, then add the leaves. Push the leaves under the water so they're just submerged, then drain into a sieve (strainer). Transfer the wilted leaves, garlic, and almonds to a blender or food processor (you can also use an electric hand-held blender), add 125g (1⁄2 cup/4 1⁄2oz) extra-virgin olive oil and 4 tbsp grated Parmesan, then blitz to a bright green purée. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
